Quake 1.5 - Quake Mod Madness

[@kiba3x]

Quake 1 and Diablo 1 were pre-installed on my first computer. What a start in my life of a gamer.

[@ikagura]

Wait what? Preinstalled game? There were included in the PC price?

[@spearPYN]

Best games of the century...

[@MoonMinHo]

I’ve always wanted a Quake 1 mod like this. This mod’s like my essential dream come true! Cudos to mod developers and all the people who helped making this awesome mod! (And to you, Icarus, for your plentiful insights on this mod)

[@InnuendoXP]

I always wanted a Quake 3 total conversion mod to a Quake 1 remake. In leiu of that, I'll take this.

[@StubenhockerElite]

I'm right with you, dude. I was waiting for a mod that was "Quake, but more"

[@Fr4nkL33-D34DLY]

Do you happen to know the best "Quake" source port to run this with? I know for Doom it's GZDoom and eDuke for Duke Nukem. However, I don't know any source ports off-hand to run this? Any help? 😯

[@MoonMinHo]

Frank Kastle According to the mod developer, he recommended to use 2017 August DarkPlace engine since he created this mod specifically for that engine. Although he included 2018 DP engine source in mod download files, he stated that it currently does not work properly in current state.

[@Fr4nkL33-D34DLY]

@@MoonMinHo Oh, thanks. So, I take it the 2017 August DarkPlace Engine (as opposed to the 2018 version) is the most stable? 🙂

[@NeilDinsmore]

The laser cannon isn't a new weapon though, it was in the Scourge of Armagon mission pack. Great video as always!

[@J.J.Spencer]

The Chainsaw's primary purpose is it will kill/gib zombies on it's own. Very handy in close quarters.

[@ikagura]

Thanks, that will be useful

[@DoomguyIsGrinningAtYou.]

Not only does that mean you won't be wasting rocket / grenade ammo, but it's far more satisfying too.

[@civarello7751]

Hey Icarus. Don´t know if you were aware, but in the ingame Mod-Menu for Quake 1.5 (which is available via the "Home"-Key) there is an option called "Game Tweaks". In this you can enable/disable certain stuff; for example that enemies can throw proximity mines, that the standard vores are replaced with vore mothers, you can specify the time the player is on fire, you can disable the slo-mo kills etc. Great Video once again; hopefully we will see more of "Quake Mod Madness" in the future.

[@ikagura]

Nice to know, I prefer to have a more vanilla experience with the mod

[@ihatestairs9034]

Civarello 77 thank god you can turn off the proximity mines and slo mo. As cool as the mines are, I find myself getting blown up without even seeing them because they’re so small. And when I die, sometimes the game goes in slo mo and I try to reload my save, only to find that my game is now permanently stuck in slo mo.

[@ikagura]

Quake Mod Madness!? Cool! a new mod madness serie!

[@MoonMinHo]

If you want more Quake mods, check out Marveller's channel (if I spelled correctly) and look for Quake mod video series. Though I haven't seen or known any Q mods that has excellently modified levels/weapons/enemies like Arcane and this one so far

[@Przemko27Z]

@Michael Persico GZDOOM, which is what most of the modern mods run on, is far from the original engine and a great deal of it's moddability was added somewhere after the source code release, so that.

[@guerillagrueplays6301]

GGRC does a series called "The Quake Grave" that is all about Quake mods. It's kinda a longer-winded Icarus style presentation (he typically plays all the way through maps and comments on the design choices and the like as he does so.) Highly recommend checking it out.

[@Uncle_Wolfy]

You're literally killing Shub inside out? God damn

[@tehbigshow]

Glad to see some Quake mod videos. Never knew this existed and now I must try it! Thank you for the upload.

[@claudiolluberes111]

Quake mods are cool, they usually require a bit more effort than DooM mods since the engine is more capable and that makes people have higher standards.

[@mooseman1071]

Looks great! I wouldn't mind seeing more Quake mods, just to mix up the variety on your channel.

[@MetalJody1990]

It's an amazing mod for sure (or should I say collection of mods). I'm loving it so far. There are some seriously talented people in the Quake modding community. I hope that someday we'll get an official reboot that takes lots of inspiration from Quake 1.5. I can only imagine how much fun and immersive it would be on the id Tech 7 engine.

[@ChristianIce]

Darplaces is the modified engine, not a mod. Great review anyway!

[@Stefano--]

Ennamise pure un oldschool gamer sei, grande ChristianIce :D

[@mudkipzuzu]

4:57 If anyone's every played Jedi Academy, this level reminds me of one that game's missions

[@notturok7841]

I just recently beat Quake on the sega saturn on nightmare difficulty. Was an amazing play through with a few new secret levels that I'm sure very few people have ever seen!. I loved it, I think I loved it more playing it on my sega as opposed to when I played it on the PC all those years ago. Really cool that I just recently played through it and here you are making a video over a mod about it. This mod looks very interesting, I may have to get a few friends to play through Quake 1 on campaign

[@ikagura]

Quake on the Saturn? Why? That console is bad when it comes to 3D games...

[@notturok7841]

not to me. I even enjoyed Doom on it. Had so many levels I have never seen before

[@PhoenixBird9000]

I only watched up to 3:31 to avoid spoilers. I'm so getting this. Thanks for posting!

[@lilwyvern4]

How'd you know that I started Quake up again?! You psychic so-and-so you! This is perfect for my new run. I hope it works with the expansions too.

[@marscaleb]

*watching the end of the video* "Dude! Icarus! Don't spoil the experience by showing everyone how to kill the final boss!" *Icarus jumps into the teleporter* "What the..."

[@GBlastMan]

What Strafe could had been but wasnt at the end, This is that. Now we need something like this for Unreal (not Tournament but the single player game Unreal) and we have the trifecta of FPS remade with modern touches.

[@SerathDarklands]

The laser cannon looks like an adapted version of the same weapon from the first Quake mission pack. I wonder if the Mjolnir, the other weapon from the pack is tucked away somewhere in Quake 1.5.

[@claudiolluberes111]

They should also include the fire nails.

[@SerathDarklands]

@@claudiolluberes111 The Lava Nails, Multi-Rockets, and Plasma Cells were from the second mission pack, "Dissolution of Eternity", but yeah, they were fun to use, and I'd love to see them included as well. Maybe in Quake 1.75?

[@hybridial]

This mod looks great, makes me think of Beautiful Doom, where the additions aren't revolutionary but they're concise and precise enough to feel they are things id would have done themselves if they could have.

[@AnimatedAndrew]

Wow, definitely gonna try this next time I get the hankering to replay Quake! Love the reloading animation of the double shotgun!

[@badnewsbruner]

Okay... I want a Doom 2016 de-make in this engine! This mod is boner inducing AF btw! Great content as always Ic!

[@badnewsbruner]

Also... if any of the devs read this, the firing animation and lighting on the standard nailgun is just perfect!

[@ikagura]

D4D was a good demake

[@ikagura]

What's that? Sorry I kinda stopped following Doom 2016 gameplay mods for the original doom games

[@jobelthirty1294]

@DUSKIE STUDIOS D4T >>> Zion v8

[@Fiendzy]

That’s been done, even features the doom eternal / classic style plasmagun the mod in question is slayers testaments made specifically around quake spazzam also includes Monsters with their Doom 2016 animations.

[@StreetLampStudios]

Love the astra millitarum symbol on those boxes during the train level

[@truefailure6359]

I love you Quake. Stop making yourself more beautiful than you already are.

[@DecadeTheKarateBugman]

Well Icarus now my weekend is filled up. Time for Trent Reznor, Livecraftian horror, and big meaty gore!

[@Makron5]

They added little things to every level it seems like so it's a great time to play through the entire thing.

[@claudiolluberes111]

Quake Champions influence here, glad to see more people like it. The super shotgun looks like the QC one and the Death Knights inflict a burn status (cool but very annoying).

[@chilldudie242]

As long as there is a simple option to swap between center and right-alignment, this could be the best mod for Quake yet! As long as that option exists.

[@ikagura]

It does exist

[@chilldudie242]

@@ikagura I got impatient and downloaded lol I am glad I did =D

[@bockstah]

Sorrry Buddy, Im stupid. I cant find the option to center the weapons. Can you help me?

[@RetroDeathReviews666]

It's like brutal doom but it still manages to keep the mid 90s feel perfectly without reloading or anything and keeping the air contol. I dig it. \m/

[@slyofwar3661]

The lazer gun is from Quake Mission pack 1 Scourge of Armagon it also added Thor's hammer Mulneer and an alt fire mode for the grenade launcher with sticky bombs Mission pack 2 disillusion of Eternity added 3 alt ammo types lava nails, multi-rockets and Plazma

[@lionocyborg6030]

Slyofwar Kehoe Sorry to be a grammar nazi but they are respectively spelled "laser", "mjolnir" (though that one is hard to get right so I may have got it wrong myself) and "plasma". Using z instead of s does not make it look cool.

[@normanred9212]

Quake 1.5 should be added to the Quake Remaster

[@BroBurg445]

Wow, this mod actually made quake a good game. well, that, and restoring the soundtrack. Also, keybindings for the kick can be found by hitting the home button on your keyboard.

[@Grandmastergav86]

Looks beautiful

[@Worgen33]

Ok, this is totally going on the list. Looks pretty awesome.

[@Annatar0]

The new animations in this mod is top-notch considering how old the tech is and it's really hard finding anyone good at animating and modelling.

[@mugwump7049]

Since you're delving into Quake 1, I'd love you to cover Arcane Dimensions...

[@purplstuph]

Yes! Quake deserves the love!

[@trustnoone81]

_That pride and accomplishment tho_

[@leonidas3566]

Hell yeah, 1998 , QUAKE LAN Partys on 17" CRT with Voodoo 2. Nostalgi

[@wadewilson4018]

I'll find a way to thank you for this...

[@ViolentVista]

That train level reminds me of Quake II

[@malkavianamerican3025]

I personally like quake's unmodded graphics, kinda keeps it unique and recognizeable, as well as the jerky movement of all the enemies.

[@AleK0451]

the laser gun is from the expansion and the quake 2 design philosophy is in a lot more than just the nailgun, like the grenade launcher straight up taken from quake 2, the alternate quake 2 shotgun model, the way the super nailgun spins up like the quake 2 chaingun and a few other things

[@AleK0451]

and also the delayed explosion on the grenade is the only thing making you think "damn i wish i could throw it back" because if it was just an instant explosion like the ogre grenades you wouldn't be pissed about it

[@brunolins3859]

you can even center the weapons or press c and play it in third person if you want,and if you think everything looks too dark you can use the flashlight,or disable the lightning

[@Uncle_Wolfy]

After i played it for a while i can say its so far the closest thing to brutal quake we have rn

[@beetheimmortal]

Yes yes yes, and a thousand times yes! Quake Mod Madness!

[@cornboi3227]

darkplaces is a source port, not a mod

[@lampenpam]

I'm suprised he messed this up as someone who is very familiar with Doom modding. Dark Places is basically the same as Zandronum or GZDoom.

[@pagb666]

And doesn't add HD textures

[@Duake1]

HD textures that you can get are over 1GB and they work flawlessly in Dark Places.

[@Duake1]

@@cornboi3227 Not discounting that. More like adding to it. Lol.

[@h4724-q6j]

The weapons have only slightly been changed. The only real changes I noticed are how the super nailgun starts off slow and has to spin up, and the grenade launcher has slightly different aim and physics (amplified by the off-centre viewmodel, which can be changed btw)

[@darthjesus7959]

i bought quake about 5 months ago hoping for a "brutal doom" type mod to play it with. one wasnt out, and i knew that one would be at some point. looks like i get to play quake now. hell yeah

[@IamRobotMonkey]

@8:00 Hurrah! It used to irk me as a kid, well, teenager, that you couldn't grab a chainsaw from a fallen ogre! I'm guessing you hack the ogre's arm off with your trusty axe and get it that way?

[@ThinBear4]

You've missed some significant weapons changes. Super Nailgun now spools up like a gatling gun. Thunderbolt chains to enemies near the one you're hitting (behaving exactly like the Chain Lightning Gun which was supposed to be in the vanilla game, but was scrapped in development). While the chainsaw might seem somewhat useless, it can actually gib zombies, saving explosive ammo.

[@McGeezle]

Is it possible for me to just take certain parts of this mod like the kick? It doesn't seem to exist separately

[@ThinBear4]

@@McGeezle I have no idea. It would be better to ask the mod author... if they're still around.

[@McGeezle]

@@ThinBear4 can't get a reply from him. Do you remember if it's possible to customise the mod to only use smaller parts of it like the ones I mentioned? I don't want all the extra/mixed enemies & changed levels etc but those enemy physics are a must have

[@ThinBear4]

@@McGeezle Parts of it can be customized via the ingame menu. For example, yes, you can turn off the monster randomizations. I don't think you can disable level overhauls though, but I might be wrong.

[@DoomRater]

In the Minecraft community, we call these things modpacks.

[@ikagura]

But this is Quake not Minecraft

[@DoomRater]

So? Multiple mods put together into a single package just get called mods? Talk about obscuification.

[@ikagura]

@@DoomRater Quake 1.5 is just one mod, not several put together

[@DoomRater]

@@ikagura That's not what Mr Icarus said...

[@jascoolo]

That bonus level looks like Quake 2 prequel. Btw this mod looks nice, but I can feel some 'Risen' vibes in it if you know what I mean ;)

[@ikagura]

The train one? Yeah it looks like a strogg train

[@The_Cosmic_Navigator]

Quake is another game that should be revisited. Along with Strife, Heretic, and Hexen.

[@bobthered313]

I rarely play mods but this one looks supercool - might have to check it out. Also, great review.

[@scorchpower6945]

Yes finally some quake mods do you have any idea how hard it is to find a quake mod video

[@LambdaBloodshot]

The blue goo enemy is the reason why i can't get back to play quake 1. While i personally prefer it way more than q2, the spawn is the most irritating enemy i have ever seen in any videogame. It made be swear even if i am a pretty calm person. I really wish for q 1.5 to fix it eventually. Still the new stuff is absolutely neat.

[@monkeywithocd]

Personally I hate the vore more with their never-ending homing bombs that can't be dodged except in absolutely ideal conditions. The spawn as I recall only appears in a few levels in Episode 4, so even though I will grant that it manages to be more annoying than the vore, it didn't leave as much of an impact on me because I had to deal with it less often, and they also die easier.

[@mugwump7049]

@@monkeywithocd I love fighting vores! Trying to evade their voreballs is a healthy sport... :D Spawns on the other hand can go back to whatever hell they came from. Also, @RavenTengu I agree that rejecting Quake only because of the spawn that appears in not so many levels is rejecting a lot of goodness... Have you even tried any custom map made by a member of the community? I mean try Honey. Try Something Wicked This Way Comes. Try Plumbers Don't Wear Ties. Try Marcher Fortress. Try any map in Arcane Dimensions. There's a lot of Quake greatness out there to miss out on...

[@LambdaBloodshot]

@@mugwump7049 yeah, i never looked for them before but i should totally give them a try. Are the compatible with darkplaces?

[@monkeywithocd]

@@mugwump7049 My problem with the vores is that their voreballs can make way too tight of turns and can path around walls. I like fighting the revenants in Doom which have homing missiles, but those can be evaded by going around a corner or something. With the vores it was a huge chore to try and get the balls to run into a wall, only for them to constantly path around it. I also seem to recall that there is no way to run faster than them, so if they got close to you and you were low on health, that's it. You're just dead.

I played the original Quake 1.5 like a year ago and it was ok but nothing groundbreaking. This new version however, is much much better.

The original version was just a straightforward weapon remodel. This one is a full on gameplay mod.

[@owenrichards1418]

Dark Places is a source port, not a mod.

[@MDK-fo7jw]

Also, the mod has integrated bot support, a whole list of gamemodes for MP, pvp animations and an MP-Only grappling hook.

[@ColpoRosso]

Oh yeah, really liking this one. Hoping it will not get too "Brutal doom" obnoxious. As for the weapons, they feel a lot more punchier here in Quake 1.5 than in vanilla and that laser cannon is from the first mission pack, scourge of Armagon

[@ikagura]

You can configure it to be more vanilla

[@MrMyji4ok]

The train level looks almost exactly like the one in the first Soldier Of Fortune Also, this very well may be "Brutal Quake". It looks just as good as Doom and Half-life ones

[@ahappyiguana2475]

Is it just me or is there more Quake 1 mods than Quake 2 mods?

[@matternicuss]

Probably because Quake 1's single player was more popular than Quake 2's, which was more popular for its multiplayer, which then of course became obsolete with Quake 3: Arena's release.

[@doppelgangerx4]

There were a HUGE number of Quake 2 mods (including Action Quake 2, the precursor to Counter-Strike), but most of them were hosted on PlanetQuake which is now gone. :(

I love center oriented weapons, because having no crosshair is no problem, and I hate crosshairs. Crosshairs ruins the atmosphere, but it is also crucial to have if theres no clue for dead center. Let us have at least a option for switching to a small dot or a wide gap crosshair that won't take away good chuck of screen pixels that could have been used for expression rather than veiling.

[@fulldisclosureiamamonster2786]

You can switch to a center-view. Like Doom 2016. Or the other way round; I can't remember which came out first.

[@Fiendzy]

Iirc there’s an option to center your weapons if you so choose and an alternative SSG model via cvar?

[@baddude1337]

Both correct! I personally prefer the Quake 2 styled SSG rather than the Quake Champions one enabled by default.

[@lunaticberserker5869]

The laser gun was included in Scourge of Armagon expansion pack, so it is not a new weapon...

[@roopepenttila8345]

About the Vores able to jump/spawn etc to the ceilings. This can be turned off via config file in the main folder of quake 1.5. There is also a plethora of stuff you can customize to your liking. Monster damage output, your weapon damage. Monster health. Certain effects and hud features. All sorts of stuff. I personally disabled the vore climbing and made their homing missiles shootable. ;) And as for the blue spawns "tarbabies" Since I do not know how to completely remove them, I reduced their health to 40, so that it is fairly quick to eradicate them with a ssg blast. Most annoying fucks ever...
